Website Builders
Wix
Drag-and-drop site building with hosting included.
Wix pairs a visual editor with hosting, forms and business apps in one subscription, so a site can be published without touching a server. The editor is opinionated: moving a finished site to another host later is difficult, and deep customisation runs into the platform's limits.
Pricing: Free tier with Wix branding; paid plans are billed monthly or annually by feature set
